I had no idea it was a perennial shrub when I planted it two years ago. I was shocked last summer (2023) when it made it through a very cold winter in the black hills of South Dakota. And I am so amazed this year at how beautifully it has shaped itself and has large buds for flowers. My honeybees will be so happy when it finally blooms in a week or so. I have it smack dab in the middle of my veggie garden so it can welcome all the newcomers (annuals) every year. Your video is very lovely. I too hope others will establish a Salvia Officinalis in the garden as well.
